Yeah! I was surprised myself when I sifted through the 800+ page manual and found that tidbit. Certainly good to know. Boy is manual a true coffee table book!
Nice and tidy indeed! Overall packaging looks robust and the threaded gland nuts push it over the top. Nicely done. Now I just have to stop playing around with the embedded 3D model and make one for my scooter :D
After all of this passes, what I think NYers will finally take from this is increased personal space, albeit minor increased personal space, and a greater adoption of contact-less methodology. If anything, it will give NYers more appreciation for soap and filtration. People will probably buy more house portable air filtration equipment than ever before. That and the MTA better finish their NFC payment system pronto and pay for a regular cleaning staff.
This is pretty excellent. It is one of the first ventilator solutions that actually implements appropriate air sensors, a PEEP function and air flow monitoring. Hats off to the tesla engineers for throwing this together so quickly. It's pretty neat that so many car parts could be reused. I can imagine they are finalizing the software interface and optimizing the machining process to reduce the cut time on the custom manifold production. Again, awesome job guys!
This does seem quite sneaky for terms of service on essentially a QnA website.
Lately, the Quora results that show up for me in search have been very ad-like. It's as if a team of accounts are trying to direct traffic toward their own individual websites or businesses. It amkes Quora very spammy. Not a fan.
In my mind, the minute locked bootloaders became the norm for android, and firmware source files became unavailable for devs, android became a closed-shut system. There used to be an entire ecosystem of mods and custom roms, which now have mostly dried up. The number of hoops needed to jump through to actually make an android phone your own in 2020 is completely absurd.
I'm sure they do conduct a lot of research. However, I bet that research points toward failing batteries after 1-2 years as the major driving force in phone upgrading. If an OEM makes an easily removable battery phone, they are essentially killing their chances of future sales. The Lg g5 is a good argument to this case, but I feel it was mainly DOA because LG at the time was not conducting enough testing on their phones (Bootloop problems).
This can only be good news. SoundCloud is one of the last few experimental-artist platforms, kind of like the myspace music scene before myspace got big.
I can't say I'm a fan of this ruler aspect ratio phone. If Essential wanted to exist in a crowded market, they didn't need to invent something new. Copy a recently designed phone and just add a removable battery. No one else is doing it. Instant success.
I would argue that even though the surface line has been a regarded as a financial failure, it is one of their most important developments to this date. Microsoft has been developing hardware for user interface design behind closed doors for years, and never released anything to the public before surface. Sure, the surface line was originally pushed by Ballmer, but I am so very glad that Nadella did not just look at financial statistics and just kill it. Hats off to you Nadella.
